The overarching sky

She is the goddess Nut, daughter of breath, of water. She is clad in the heavens, and a shield against the dark.

 

I talked in yesterday's post about my lapis goddess -- this combination of Fallen God's Pure Abyss skin, their Damned tattoo, and the Kintsugi tattoo from kosmii. The outfit and jewelry followed, but those things, invoking the spirit of ancient Egypt? Yes, yes, I know Kintsugi is Japanese, but lapis is often shot through with gold pyrite, and it just looked right to me.

 

I'll admit I was a bit taken aback last Friday when I saw the exclusive skins for Alia Baroque's Fantasy Faire Jail-and-Bail -- two skins with the Damned tattoo built-in, one of which was a dark blue. HEY! That was my idea!

 

But I got Nut: Dynasty Night anyway. Nut (pronounced similar to 'newt') is the sky goddess, shielding the Earth from the perpetual Dark.

 

And you know? I'm rather glad I did. It's a much darker blue than the Pure Abyss skin, and is overlayed not just with the Damned hieroglyphs, but also the stars from FG's earlier Sidara skin. It's its own look.. and I love it, too.

 

Yeeeesss I still used the kintsugi golden fractures. Because I *still* think they're awesome.

 

I also added in the lovely Circe Aurora dress from [QE] Designs that I found. It's perfect, I saw it and new that it was just what I needed: Nut is clad in the very heavens. Circe is fitted for Maitreya, Legacy, Hourglass, Kupra, and Freya. No Lara Petite, but it fits well enough that I've got no complaints -- the style of the top means there's none of that embarrassing mid-boob 'pooch' that sometimes shows up on Lara clothing on small chests. Of course, if you've got a larger chest, that's no worry for you anyway! Circe also comes with a texture HUD with four primary variations and five different accent variations.

 

Oh, yeah, one other lovely goodie -- I was walking through ___ and saw this wonderful Glass Halo from Rainnn. The Radiant crown is a common feature in ancient Egypt, featured in art and statues, symbolising the warmth, the light, the power of the Sun. Nut in some images is shown with a Moon crown, and the Glass Halo, together with the wonderful Leight Anubis horns from A Fantastical Notion definitely evoke that Moon crown imagery.

 

What's the moral of the story? Dunno. How about "I never have gone wrong with a new exotic skin"? I don't know how often I wear a skin with hieroglyphs.... but I have another option, another look, and I love it. Maybe that's the moral of the story -- you never know until you experiment.

 

The Mists will return to the Faire, and this year will be another memory -- or many memories. I love every moment of Faire, and I love sharing the treasures that I find with you. I hope you get the chance to enjoy every last moment of Fantasy Faire, I know I will be.

 

Aloha! A hui hou kākou!
